One of four 802.11n routers, the Belkin Play Max is a contoured, vertically oriented device with no visible antennae. It's a simultaneous (Belkin calls it "concurrent") dual-band device with the usual four RJ45 ports on the back for device attachment and a fifth for your modem. Two USB 2.0 ports adorn the back and may be used for printers or disk drives. Price: about $130.
